A few more beach pictures

We discovered Dewey Beach this weekend. Every day we got to see the Dolphins from the shore. What a great time.

Lily is 2 years old

I can't believe that Lily is two years old. In celebration of her birthday and the beautiful 80 degree weather we went to the beach for the weekend with Grandma Merry, Grandpa Ronnie & Andy. We all had a fantastic time.

Visit from Grandma Merry & Grandpa Ronnie (and Andy too)

Yes, Lily is in heaven. In honor of her second birthday coming up on Oct. 6th, she was honored with Grandma Merry, Grandpa Ronnie and Andy (her new best friend) visiting her for two weeks. Or hopefully two weeks if they are willing to stay that long. This last weekend we got the chance to do a little sightseeing and visit Mt Vernon, Annapolis, and see a few sights in D.C. through the rainy windows. But the coming weekend is supposed to be back up into the 70's (just in time for the beach). We are having a fantastic time!

Behind on posts

We have been so busy with the new vacation house that I've been terrible with updates. Here are some great pictures of our new vacation destination. Yes, we love it! House is all set up and ready for guests (ok, almost ready)

Our New Vacation House

Call us crazy, we bought a vacation home near Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. We haven't even gotten our first home in the DC area complete yet. We must have had spare time on our hands waiting for the first house to get done, so we decided to buy a vacation home. Mostly its because Lily drags us to the beach every weekend anyway. OK, maybe "dragging" isn't exactly correct. We all love going so we decided to buy a new home/villa in a large master planned community. Think 4 pools: 1 indoor Olympic size, 1 outdoor adult, 1 kiddie pool + 1 wave pool. Jack Nicklaus golf course. Workout facilities, recreation room, on site restaurant. On the bay, sandy beach, nature trails, and the list goes on and on. And only 10 minutes to Rehoboth Beach. Yes, we definitely feel extremely lucky to be able to do this.

House is this exact picture (brand new, 2350 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and even a 2 car garage in back)

The kitchen was perfect for me. White cabinets and gray/blue granite. Such a beachy feel.

Fun at Bethany Beach

Last weekend we headed to the beach (the actual Atlantic beach this time) and discovered we love it even more than we thought. So... we ended up looking at vacation homes and found a community we fell in love with. More on that later. Lily had a great time at the beach. She loves people watching (and flirting with boys with no shirts) so it was the perfect place for her. Notice the picture below where she is trying to pick up on a sleeping gentlemen.

Great week with the Dixons

Last week we were fortunate to have Stef, Chad, Danielle & Lauren visit for nearly a whole week. Lily loved having them around and took a fond liking to Lauren especially. Maybe it was because Lauren's graduation pictures are hanging on her bulletin board. Or maybe its because she just really liked Lauren. Either way, she sure missed everyone when they left. Hopefully they will come back soon.
